[XeTeX] difference between xetex and xelatex

[وفا خلیقی]

I am a Plain TeX user, so I use xetex.

You might be a LaTeX user so you use xelatex.

someone else is a ConTeXt user, so he uses XeConTeXt.

This is an example that I would have to produce my documents

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\magnification\magstep1
\baselineskip 14pt
\font\tenrm="Junicode:mapping=tex-text" at 10pt
\font\tenbf="Junicode/B:mapping=tex-text" at 10pt
\fon\tenit="Junicode/I:mapping=tex-text" at 10pt\tenrm

This is a {\bf line} that is written in {\it Junicode\/} font.

\end

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

And you would use this in xelatex:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Junicode}
\begin{document}
This is a \textbf{line} that is written in ......
\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I have no clue how ConTeXt is maybe something like

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\starttext
text is here

\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


I believe Plain TeX is so cool. but some people like to use LaTeX and a few
like to use ConTeXt.


Hope this helps
